Two Southeast Texans have claimed $1 million top prizes on Texas Lottery scratch-off tickets in separate incidents this month, setting off buzz across the greater Houston area. One winner is from Conroe and the other is from the Cleveland/Plum Grove area, and both chose to remain anonymous. The stores that sold the winning tickets could now be in line for retailer bonuses.
Why it matters
Big scratch-off wins like these tend to grab headlines, but the Texas Lottery also sends revenue to broader priorities like public education and veterans programs. While the individual winners opted for privacy, the retailer bonuses and overall lottery funding for important causes make these wins meaningful for the local community.
The details
Earlier this month, the Texas Lottery processed a $1 million claim tied to an Extreme Multiplier $20 ticket purchased at Fuel Maxx #88 in Conroe. A separate $1 million top prize in the $1,000,000 Crossword game was claimed on Wednesday last week from a ticket bought at Teddy's Plum Grove. Both winners chose to remain anonymous, but the retailers may qualify for a $10,000 bonus under the Texas Lottery Retailer Bonus Program.
